Getting started

Collect your official partner tickets on site at Canton Tower and pass through the required security checks.

What to expect

Canton Tower Guangzhou

This experience focuses on Canton Tower's adventure offerings, combining height with high-rope thrills or a long outdoor climb, depending on the ticket you select. You choose between three formats: tackling the Landmark α Rope Course, joining as a companion on the viewing platform, or walking the Open-Air Skywalk spiral staircase.

Features

With guided high-rope obstacle course access, Landmark α Rope Course participants take on a suspended challenge course at height, navigating obstacles under supervision for Canton Tower's most extreme adventure. The route is designed as a high-rope obstacle experience rather than a simple viewing walk, so you are actively moving, balancing, and progressing step by step.

Platform access to watch the rope course lets companions stay close without joining the obstacles themselves, ideal if you want to see family or friends on the Landmark α Rope Course from a dedicated viewing area. You can track their progress across the course, take in the height from the platform, and still share the overall experience.

Choosing the Open-Air Skywalk Spiral Staircase Access Ticket gives you access to the 1,028-step spiral staircase, 168–334m high, wrapped around the tower's "slim waist". This outdoor route is recognized as the world's longest outdoor spiral staircase and lets you feel the gradual height change as you climb.

Immediate access is included with every ticket type, so once your ticket is collected, you move directly toward your selected activity zone rather than joining general purchase lines. All options use official partner tickets with worry-free cancellation, and the required ticket collection is clearly specified so you know to pick up your pass before proceeding to the Landmark α Rope Course, companion platform, or Open-Air Skywalk.
